Those who recall the [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-50th-anniversary-iphone-17-pro) [iMac G3](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/c1-magfit) will likely remember just how innovative it was at a time when computers were overwhelmingly designed as boring gray boxes, so the Spigen Classic C1 iPhone X Case is here to pay homage.

The beautifully designed smartphone case comes in several color options and boasts a semi-transparent design just like the iMac G3 along with a rounded aesthetic. This makes it look straight out of the [late 90s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-watch-g3), while the integrated air cushion design offers added protection for your modern device.

The Spigen Classic C1 iPhone X Case replicates the look of the internal components from the original computer, while the design has been created to not inhibit the functionality of the Qi-enabled device.
